Condition: At the moment he’s just an old fella, he moves slowly but he is very strong, which is why he’s gotten so far. He is older than most other wolves but he’s beginning to fade. He knows that soon he will be limping full-time (he limps at times as it is right now) and his senses are fading aswell – he know he will soon be blind (his eyes have a slight cataract, but it’ll worsen), his hearing isn’t the best, but soon he won’t be able to hear at all, his nose works, but not too well. He fears he will get rheumatism and become senile. His brain is still sharp, but he doesn’t know for how long it will stay that way.
Allergic Reactions: ---

Previous Pack: He’s been in a few different packs in his life
Previous Rank: Rusty has always been in fighting groups, often as a mercenary soldier (he has also been in hunting groups for the packs he has stayed for a longer time in)

Current Pack: n/a
Current Rank: n/a

Likes: Rusty loves the smell of summer rain, he loves being around other wolves and especially pups, since they are the ones that still have everything left. He likes to watch the world and of course, reminisce. He’s also a great storyteller and can both tell tales from his own life or tales that are just made up or heard of.
Dislikes: He does not like hasty wolves, even though he once was like that himself. He’s changed with age. Now he’s more likely to think things through before deciding what to do. He’s not too fond of vegetables either… There’s actually not many things he genuinely dislike..
Trusts: He trusts everyone until they’ve proven they’re not trustworthy. He’s a realistic one, but he always gives a stranger a chance.
Hopes & Dreams: He puts his hopes and dreams for the next generations. For him, he knows, there is only one fate, and it is getting near – so why would he need to have dreams? Well, he could always hope for a nice place to spend the rest of his days but that is really the only thing he can wish for. Oh, but there is one thing – he wishes that, in death, he will find his old friend, Derrek, who is dead since long time ago.
Fears: He secretly fears the final day. Mostly because he knows it isn’t far away. He dreads the fact that he has no clue on what will happen when he is dead and gone and he is scared that the end is really final – that there is nothing to come afterwards.
Values: Friends, family, life. He wants to live the last remaining days full out. He wants to see as much as possible before his eyes are no longer working. But he would rather be among his friends and family those days than out in the world exploring.
Motto: Carpe Diem – seize the day

Basic Lifeline: Rusty was born in mid-summer about twelve years ago. His father was a warrior and a hunter while his mother had a lot of knowledge about healing and such. He idolized his father a lot so he decided to become a warrior and a hunter himself. He soon became a high-ranked warrior and got to meet wolves of the higher class (this former pack consisted of very many wolves) and he soon fell in love with the Alpha’s daughter. She was already promised to the son of the Betas, so the romance was not acceptable, yet he knew he had to give it a chance. Back then he was one handsome and strong wolf and he could have gotten a lot of other females instead. But, as said, he had to try and when he discovered the daughter of the Alphas actually was interested in him too he went to the Alphas and asked their permission to “marry” their daughter. They thought it to be scandalous, and they gave Rosso(Rusty) two choices; leave the pack forever or demotion to Omega (which in this pack meant slave work, being the punch bag of the pack and not having any kind of relationship). He decided to leave the pack, not telling his loved one that he was going. He did though tell his mother, who was devastated – even though she agreed it would be better if he left than tarnishing the family reputation, and especially his own reputation. She was not a bad mother in any way – she just knew what was the best for all of them, and so did Rusty. That is why he left the pack to never return.

He lived some time as a loner until he found a group just like him – strong loners with no place to go. They formed a minor pack and they kept together for a year or two. This pack did not work too well, since all these wolves were strong willed. Rusty and one of these wolves, Derrek, left the pack before it dissolved, to find a better place to go. They were the best of friends and both were strong and handsome, so for a while they lived “la dolce vita”, they met females and loved them for a short while. They probably left some offspring behind but they wouldn’t know. And they didn’t really care back then. They travelled on and settled down in a war faring pack. They fought alongside them in exchange for food, water and women. And they were among the elite of that pack. Both Rosso and Derrek were large wolves, while this pack was of other subspecies. After the feud between those two packs they left, there was just no action any longer. They loved the feel of fighting, the adrenaline rush when going to war. They became mercenary soldiers and fought a lot against all different kinds of wolves. Even those who they once had been fighting for could become their enemies. They both gained a lot of scars but they always were good, or perhaps lucky, in battle. Of course, luck does not last forever and during one of the bigger wars in Rosso’s lifestory the enemy was just a little bit better. Derrek, Rossos one and only friend in the world – his best friend who he saw as a brother, was killed by the black wolves of the east. In frenzy Rosso attacked or killed everyone he saw around him, even those he was fighting for. Then he carried away the body of his friend and buried him. Every year Rosso returned(and still do) to this site to mourn his fallen friend.

This was now six years ago – half a lifetime. Rosso always remember this day as it was the previous day... This event made his mind darken for about a year. He kept to himself, drove away anyone who came close, even attacked them. Then came the day when he first returned to the grave. It was a rainy day, just like it was the day he was born. He found, on Derrek’s grave, a wild flower – white and blue, which had sprung up within the year they had been apart. For some odd reason, this made Rosso change. He calmed down, tried to find good things in life – a home, new friends and most important – a purpose. At the age of seven he finally had started to act like a grown-up. He realized that now – how meaningless it had all been before. But he never resented it, besides that battle in which his friend died of course.

He settled down in a pack, Koniak, and he found new friends there, even a mate. They never got any pups, since they were not of a high rank and the Alphas would not approve (for some reason). However, they were deeply in love and lived together in happiness, they didn’t need any pups for themselves. They used to help with the other wolves’ pups instead and were satisfied with that. Those were the truly happy days of Rosso’s life, and they lasted for a few years. But good things never seem to last forever, at least not for Rosso. His beloved mate became sick and she never recovered. She died at the age of nine, Rosso was ten. This is now two years in the past and Rosso still misses her, of course. He knows he is getting old and the only thing that makes it easy is the thought that he will soon be reunited with his mate and of course his old friend Derrek too.
